Struggle in the Steam Age

"Dye?" Liszt, who was standing next to Lawrence, asked a little puzzled, "How should I dye such a small thing? I have chosen several dyes, but they either cannot be dyed, or they are not dyed at all." Unclear."

"I have a way here." Although Lawrence didn't study medicine in his previous life, because someone in his family was a doctor and he had read a lot of novels related to medicine, after obtaining all the memories of his two lives, he found that his memory was Contains a series of things that are very valuable in this era but can be found with a little Baidu in the previous life.

And this series of knowledge includes the most widely used and simplest Gram staining method in the previous life. Although this staining method born in 1884 has many shortcomings, it is the most suitable for now There is a way.

"Let me think about it, yes, that's right." Lawrence thought for a while in memory and said to Liszt: "This method requires four steps, including primary dyeing, mordant dyeing, decolorization, and counter-staining—"

Although this magical world is very similar to the world of the previous life, most of the items are also the same. However, there are differences in the names of these things. Fortunately, as a medical student in this life, Lawrence has been able to confirm the existence of alcohol and potassium iodide. The only thing that cannot be confirmed is what the dye crystal violet is called in this world.

"You said that the most critical step requires an alkaline dye?" Liszt also frowned. What Lawrence said was too broad, and he didn't even mention this in order to avoid some differences between the two world items. The color of the dye.

"Yes, it is inferred that this dye is alkaline, but I don't know much about dyes." Lawrence shrugged helplessly.

"Well, the next thing is my job." Liszt shrugged his shoulders, "After all, as the second author of such an important paper, I can't just do nothing. Looking for this alkaline dye Please leave it to me."

After explaining the specific operation method to Liszt, Lawrence left the hospital, because Liszt entered into a frenzied research state just after hearing how to do the specific operation, and didn't care about calling him at all.

Returning to St. Gutenberg Cathedral, Lawrence immediately reported to the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine that he had encountered the blood ritual murder case of the vampire baroness in Central Park today in accordance with the previous requirements.

"So you were the first to see that it was a blood sacrifice." The middle-aged priest in charge of reception smiled and patted Lawrence on the shoulder. "I'm just talking about how the group of muscle-filled and brain-filled fighters from the Eagle Fort Police Station plus a few psychics can figure out what's going on so quickly. Now it seems that it is the credit of our Church of Knowledge."

Taking advantage of the joy of the middle-aged priest, Lawrence took the opportunity to ask a question: "By the way, I think I have the right to borrow a book from the first floor of the library every week. Which type of book do you think is better for me to borrow?"

"That depends on the situation." The priest pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Have you read the monster illustrated book?"

"Illustrated Monster Manual? I read my father's book when I was a child. But that book is just a simplified version that was released 20 years ago." Lawrence said.

"It's enough. After all, as a novice transcendent, you generally won't encounter monsters beyond the scope of the simplified version. If you do encounter monsters, I think the result will be the same whether you recognize it or not." Said the name Priest Nian also shrugged his shoulders, "If you have already read that book, for safety reasons, I personally suggest that you borrow a copy of "Introduction to Alchemy" first."

""Introduction to Alchemy"?" Lawrence showed a puzzled look on his face, because as far as he knew, alchemy was a very expensive and very complicated skill, and it was not very suitable for novices in theory.

"Yes, an introduction to alchemy." The middle-aged priest nodded, "I'm not recommending it to you indiscriminately, but because the monsters you are most likely to encounter at this stage can often be consumed by alchemy bullets and some auxiliary alchemy. Pinlai. If you have some simple alchemy techniques, your combat effectiveness can be doubled."

Hearing this sentence, Lawrence nodded, because in his memory, when he was a child, when the town had a goblin riot every year, there were many trainees and even apprentices among the goblins. In the small town, there are only Lawrence's adoptive father, an apprentice-level priest, and a trainee-level soldier who runs a tavern in the town.

However, with some simple alchemy products made by the adoptive father and various traps set by everyone, these goblins who have the advantage in numbers will suffer heavy losses every time they invade, while the town side will suffer little loss.

"Thank you." Thinking of this, Lawrence bowed to express his gratitude to the priest in front of him, and then left the room. In the corridor, he leaned against the wall and stood aside, watching a policeman in police uniform hurry Go in the direction of the Ministry of Faith.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of supernatural events in this world." Lawrence thought after watching the policeman enter the door he had just come out of, "It's just that ordinary people rarely encounter supernatural events because of the efforts of supernatural beings. "

When he came to the entrance of the cafeteria, he found that dinner had already been served inside at this time, but not many people came to eat now. After showing his ID, Lawrence spent 3 cents at the entrance to choose a Fei Leng Cui Meat Sauce Noodle Set. Afterwards, he took a slender bronze medal the size of his index finger to the corresponding window to pick up a tray full of set meals.

"A large serving of bolognese noodles, a piece of palm-sized fried fish with black pepper, a small serving of cheese and vegetable salad, and a large glass of mint lemonade with a lot of sugar only costs 3 cents. It’s a good deal.” During the meal, Lawrence thought, after all, the same set meal cost 7 cents when he lived in the church a few days ago.

"Fortunately, after dealing with the stick of prosperity and decline, the church promised to waive the medical expenses and reimburse the board and lodging expenses during the period before the operation at the end of the month, otherwise the wallet will definitely bottom out."

Sighing at how quickly his wallet was deflated, Lawrence poured the last sip of his drink into his mouth, then put the dinner plate in the recycling area. After washing my hands, I went straight to the library.

Mrs. Brooke, librarian of St. Gutenberg's cathedral, was a stern, thin woman and the widow of a full member of the Church's Faith Department.

After registering Lawrence's ID number, Lawrence told her the books he needed. Mrs. Brooke nodded after listening, walked between the tall bookshelves with her head held high, and came back a few minutes later. In his hand was a thick book with frayed corners.

"Remember, don't scribble on the book, let alone damage it." Mrs. Brook warned seriously when handing the book to Lawrence.

"Of course, I swear that I will keep this book well." Lawrence hugged the book in his arms, and then looked at Mrs. Brook with what he thought was his most sincere eyes, "I promise."

After getting the book, Lawrence first sent the book back to his room, then he ran to the logistics office and started the shopping mode. After spending 52 yuan, he returned with a large bag of things The room I live in.

"Finally everything is ready, and I'm ready to start work. Of course, I should read this book carefully before showing my skills." Lawrence thought about putting the After washing his hands and drying them with the towel hanging above, he took the book he had just borrowed and walked to the oil lamp to read.
